MAKETEXT -- creates text using TWiki's I18N infrastructure

a comma-separated list of arguments to be interpolated in the string, replacing the [_N] placeholders in it.

none

Examples:

%MAKETEXT{string="Notes:"}% expands to Notes:

%MAKETEXT{"If you have any questions, please contact [_1]." args="%WIKIWEBMASTER%"}% expands to If you have any questions, please contact twiki@ufba.br.

%MAKETEXT{"Did you want to [[[_1]][reset [_2]'s password]]?" args="%SYSTEMWEB%.ResetPassword,%WIKIUSERNAME%"}% expands to Did you want to reset Main.TWikiGuest's password?

Notes:

TWiki will translate the string to the current user's language only if it has such string in its translation table for that language.

Amperstands (&) followed by one letter (one of a...z, A...Z) (say, X) in the translatable string will be translated to <span class='twikiAccessKey'>X</span>. This is used to implement access keys. If you want to write an actual amperstand that stays just before a letter, write two consecutive amperstands (&&): they will be transformed in just one.

translatable string starting with underscores (_) are reserved. You cannot use translatable phrases starting with an underscore.

Make sure that the translatable string is constant. Specially, do not include %VARIABLES% inside the translatable strings (since they will get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}% itself is handled).
